...calls her on it ?
Last night the questioner posed a question re a legal ruling giving the president the "right to limit civil liberties in time of war., etc"
She cited "STEnek vs. United States"
The correct cite was "SCHEnk v United States."
Well, some of the answerers were looking for the link and could not find it.
Anyway, she made the mistake not us! Yet she beats up in some answerers because we do not agree with her re 911.
Even further, another answerer, who identified himself as a "lawyer" claimed that
"Stenek is a very instructive case and right in point. Your reading of it is correct (I am a lawyer)."
So Mr. Smarty pants "lawyer" gave an incorrect cite also.I guess he feels rather foolish. But she shouldn't have gotten mad at everyone because SHE made a mistake.
But "Lawyer" showed his phoniness even further, because a real lawyer would have said:
that the case was "right ON point"
Not that the case was
"Right IN point".

She misspelled the name of the case, misinterpreted the ruling, and didn't follow up with cases that examine the same type of decision.
She blew it and should have more class.

Not ranting does make the issues easier to consider. Conservatives, Liberals, Moderates and Independants have one thing in common. The decisions we made or didn't make and supported or didn't support, will be judged hindsight by future generations.
I don't want to be seen as a generation that spent so much time bicker and picking fights with each other with our own citizens, that we had no serious dialogue on the issues. I hope you aren't trying to pick another fight out the backdoor of the bar ... we All have a long way to go.
What happen to Q&A and dialogue? A valid point sandwiched in the criticism gets lost ... just as yours just did.
Time for a change.

Beats me. Looks like most on here look for mistakes just so they can attack the one asking a question. Name calling and "word-picking" akes away from the integrety of the fun of the site. Thank you for clearing up the fact you feel your smarter then the other, we all REALLY care.

the vast majority of people on here don't know have any clue what they are talking about (and that may even include me)...
I'm almost impressed that they cited anything at all to be frank...
I get angry with the people that post statistics like numbers and then don't back them up with cites... then you ask them for to cite it... and they get mad at you for asking?
or say "everyone knows this"... or "it's easily found"... just cite your stuff...
sorry about the rant...
